My gosh I swear every day Albert is somewhere different, how many engagements does he do every year!?! It must be close to a 1,000, if not more!

I seriously don't know how he does it, besides being an active monarch, patronages, charities, and on & on. And he does it with a smile on his face at all times (lol still recall him singing along with that Elvis song at Crown Princess Viktoria's pre-wedding festivities).

And dancing to ZZ Top at that great party after he and Charlene got engaged. Brilliant. !

Yeah, that was great.
But he really has a busy scedule!

Smush, I feel exhausted just thinking about the number of events that he attends.
Being in a few different countries in any given week is as common for Albert as going to the shops is for me.

I was thinking the same thing! His energy level must be amazing!

Last Friday, January 20, Prince Albert has been in St. Moritz, Switzerland. He had planned to participate
in the charity bobsled race "Historic Race", but it was cancelled due to the weather conditions.

"I've had a very enjoyable journey. I love travelling by train in wonderful Switzerland", he said. Asked where
Princess Charlene was, he smilingly replied she was in Milan shopping (see her current events thread). And
his secret recipe for a happy marriage: "You have to enjoy the shared experiences consciously, but do not
stick together. Everyone needs time alone or with friends. This understanding is very important".

And here's a short video with an interview about the cancelled race:

It is not like Albert to be derelict in his duties. The report says that he had to cancel due to "urgent changes in his program". I hope that everything or everyone is all right.

Ha ha,they are indeed & look like the Italian Flag!

Albert definitely didn't shave. Perhaps he has a trip to a very cold climate coming up where he needs to grow a beard.

A good point. Have we ever seen Albert with a beard or at least a good bit of stubble. ?

Two upcoming foreign visits for Prince Albert this month!


From February 13-15 Prince Albert will make a state visit to Mali and following that he'll be
on an official visit to Burkina Faso from February 15-17. Princess Charlene will not take part
in the journey to the two West African countries.


Here's an overview over the planned agenda:

What a pity PC won't go on the African State visits with him. I wonder why not?

 

[iceflower]

We won't speculate about any possible reasons - as always, I think that's understandable

we are used to see him always arranged, and when we see him in normal ... lock it strange.
